" Really clever short story with an interesting twist. "

by Kathy | 1/27/2014

" I love Stevenson's short stories in which his characters face moral dilemas that place their very souls in peril. This one is my favorite. It's about a man who has made a deal with a devil. Everything is going fine and it looks like he has escaped with is soul intact . . . until he falls in love! "

" I just adored R.L.Stevenson...definitely a mustread....you will love the plot... "
